history

Village Church (2011)

The first documentary mention of Orlishausen is proven from 780–802.

The “Otterzunge” elevation, which extends into the Scherkonde Valley, was probably an early Bronze Age hilltop settlement, as a stone slab and an urn with a bronze find were found.

The places Groß- and Wenigenorlishausen belonged to that part of the county of Beichlingen , which in 1448 came to the Counts Botho zu Stolberg and Heinrich von Schwarzburg as the rule of Frohndorf and was sold to Hans von Werthern in 1505 . In the following years Orlishausen belonged to the Electoral Saxon Office Eckartsberga . In 1815, following a decision by the Congress of Vienna , the village and other southern locations of the Eckartsberga district did not become part of Prussia , but rather to the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach . This incorporated the place in 1817 to the Buttstädt office . After the administrative reform of the Grand Duchy, the place came in 1850 as the only place of the dissolved Buttstätt district legally to the district court district Großrudestedt and administratively to the administrative district Weimar . Orlishausen has been part of the state of Thuringia since 1920.

During the Second World War , 50 forced laborers from Russia and France had to do forced labor in the village.

In 1992 a 17.2 hectare industrial area "Gebind" was created on the southern edge of Orlishausen. Orlishausen was incorporated into the district town of Sömmerda in 1994 .
